Frants Peter Diderik Henningsen (22 June 1850, Copenhagen – 20 March 1908, Copenhagen) was a Danish painter, illustrator and professor. His paintings depict unfortunate occurrences in the lives of middle-class people breathing in Copenhagen during hard times. His friends with Denmark’s more traditional, realist speculative encouraged criticism from many of his more reactionary contemporaries, especially Karl Madsen who objected to his taking office as a professor at the Academy in 1887.Erik Henningsen, also an artist, was his younger brother.
